I don't understand why they felt necessary to rewrite a core component in another language. If you have a garbage collection problem my first intuition would be to produce less garbage!

For example better using the stack, or pulling out the big gun of manual memory management.

I'm sure they had reasons to choose Go when they first designed this project but they don't go into them at all.

Feels like they just wanted to play with a new toy.

That’s a great read. And an incredibly annoying “floating footer”
